After eating ALL the treats he's tuckered out and resting! Thank you sooo much PearlPower!!! I love my new blankie! Toys and treats!!!! Woof!!!!

Thank you so much to Roz's SS, Elke and her person SoCalGirl! We are so grateful for your generosity, and, boy were you generous! I am so sorry, Amanda, I know I am such a pain to shop for, in that I don't every ask for anything specific, but you really just blew me away! Roz absolutely loves her toys, and she is being especially good now that she knows she has some extra-tasty treats around! The collar is so lovely and the purple is GORGEOUS against Roz's black fur. Thank you, really, so much. You are amazing! Ok, here are some pictures: I will take more later when it is nicer outside and we can play with ALL of the toys! (My mom was NOT letting me CHUCK anything in the house for Roz, so the Chuck It! will have to wait until we get back to Atlanta or the sun starts shining in Augusta....)

It's time for presents now, right? This time I actually get to open it!?

JUST OPEN IT!

Box FULL of goodies!

Roz's first pick was her Bottle Cheetah!

Merry Christmas from Gulf Coast Doberman Rescue
Recieved another package from a Rescue Elf. I was so touched by Ammo's story and the photos. I carefully cut one of the photos off the box and put it on my desk. Isn't it great that our dogs can inspire us to "pay it foward" for them?! Thank you so much for the box of goodies. I have not tried to post here by myself and I'm not sure I'm putting the post in the right place.
We have recently taken in a new girl, Ria. I'm going to try and attach her photo. I wanted to to show you who is getting the biggest part of your gift. She's not here fostering with me so I could not get a photo of her with the items. But the box is here waiting for her foster mom to pick it up for her this week. Thank you so much for the beautiful soft blankets, treats, kongs and peanut butter. You have made Ria and others very warm and happy for Christmas. Thank you Jacob, Tiffany, Megan, Ammo, Candence & Clyde Sylvester! aka dobiegal15 You rock!
(oh boy I can't tell if my attachment is there) Help?!

I think we might know who our SS is`. Ruger is overwhelmed with all of his gifts. We had my sister and her two dogs over for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. (The furkids had a sleep over.) Ruger didn't want to share his goodies. Well they went home, so I now have time to sort pictures and get some posted.

Awaiting the ok to dig in. Something in that box smells good.

What's in the box? Is it for me???

Ok cousin Squrit....back off.

Hurry up, open the Big Green Bag already! It IS the 25th today...

Oh boy, oh boy, I always wanted one of these. I'm so excited I can't even stand up.

MOM!!! Squirt is stealing MY stuff....

Whew....I think I got it all back. Maybe if I keep my paw on this it will be safe

I sure look handsome in my new Bronco Jammies, don't I.

Mom can drink her favorite hot beverage with her new cup.

Getting tired

And a little chilly.

Thank you SO MUCH!

SS I am trying so hard to get pics to upload but we are having horrible storms right now and our Internet is barely working (I'm posting this on my phone ) Please know that Gunner LOVED his goodies and I will try to post again in the morning after this nasty weather has passed. Merry Christmas!!!

We're still not sure who our Secret Santa is (our guess is LVDOBE), but we LOVE them!! All I can say is WOW, they were quite generous! We opened gifts late today, but I did manage to snap a few pictures.

Juno wanted no part of the pictures, but Jewels and KC reluctantly agreed to sit for one.
Finally! We got Juno to join the group; we had to let her wear her new pink Disney wings!
KC doesn't always hear so well, I released them from a stay, but KC clearly didn't hear me. I'm certain he's thinking those girls are gonna get in trouble!
"Every dog for him or herself!"
KC: "This is too much work, I'll let the girls do the work for me. A box of Deliciousness!"
Jewels wasted no time taking advantage of the 'old dogs' slow exploration of the contents!
She grabbed a ball and was off. Being the well trained human that I am, I chased her to retrieve the ball.
Juno's most favorite toys are puzzle toys! The other dogs depend on her to get the treats out of them!
Even Petey got in on this action!
Juno never gives up, she works those puzzle toys until the very last morsel is freed
Taking a picture of the 'booty' was like trying to climb Mount Everest! Clearly, the entire gang needs more obedience training!
Jewels managed to, once again, snag the most awesomest squeaky tennis ball, and off she went, squeak, squeak, squeak.
At least I could follow the sound to find her
Jewels: "Mom is hiding behind that annoying flashy box thingy, she'll never know who took the cow"
Jewels just loved this stuffed Christmas tree, and I mean, she really loved it!
It's a green and white stuffed tree and it kinda blends a little with the cover I have on the bed,
but I'm posting the pictures anyways because she was obsessed with that toy.

Iz lick it
Iz suck it
Iz hugs it (see her paws digging into the bed)
Iz BITE it

Huh? Say What? You wanna take my toy??? NOOOOOOOOOO

Nap Time!! A gift for the humans that I allow to live with me!

Our Secret Santa sent the coolest Doberman notecards, how did they know that I love note cards like that?

KC, Juno, & Jewels send nose bumps and body slams to the "3 Las Vegas Dobes"!!
I'll just send my heartfelt thanks for adding joy and humor to our Christmas, the gifts were perfect and it was SO fun opening the box!

Thor and his Wubba Friends
Thor and Khaos didn’t quite understand that a Wubba isn’t a tug toy
Thor won and Khaos might be a little bit upset, but never fear he got his Wubba back.
Release the Kraken (You might notice my husband holding his hand up, afraid of getting hit with the Kraken since Cleo decided to give most of the toys a throw test. They all passed and only left minor bruises when making contact at Mach 5 speed)
Mine all mine

BEST.PICTURES.EVER!

I'm laughing my head off, what great personalities your 'gang' has, and what a great photographer you are!! I had never seen one of those Octopus in person, those are so cool! I can totally understand why your husband has his hand up!

Nox, I cannot thank you enough but I hope that these pictures help! I now understand the message both from Lois and from you (sneaky!) about not buying things. I have been lusting after that dogs-art collar since I first saw it and that tag for 100x as long. I'm still drooling over them. Plus, the Pooch Tag is absolutely adorable! I'm going to put it on my keychain so that I have a little Dreizehn everywhere I go.

ETA: At least, I'm assuming it's Nox. I've been wrong before and perhaps Nox was acting as a double-agent...

Glad Dreizehn loved everything and everything looks great on him!!

It was fun fibbing on the hints to throw you off, I'm glad it worked haha!
Yes, I'm evil

Roxy and her humans were so EXCITED to open our SS BOX! Mom waited all day to get a chance to upload pictures. They aren't the greatest, but hope they convey how happy and blessed we are.
Roxy didn't waste any time digging in...
Modeling her new, BEAUTIFUL collar...
Playing with her new tug...which she later took to cuddle in her bed...
Had a hard time getting her to stay still long enough with her new ball...
And a lovely Doberman ornament for our tree..
We also got tons of goodies which Roxy has sampled and approved
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! We love you Santa! Still not positive who you are, but you made our Christmas!

Ok, we opened our box this morning. I took lots of pictures, and some turned out despite my bad camera skills.

Thor had been enjoying his crate pad for a while now.

Trinket was VERY interested in this great smelling box.

Very interested!

Thor waited nicely until I got one of his snackie bags for him.

It was very yummy.

Trinket was worried he would steal hers though (he was stealing her new toy this morning).

Thor would snatch a cookie from the bag and run off to eat it, too fast for me snap a picture. Trinket would shove her whole nose in there, and use it like a feed bag.

Trinket was good at this part!

Trinket got a beautiful new purple collar with a nice metal buckle, fits perfectly and she was the purple collar girl in her litter!! I can see her in the yard at night easily, since it's a light reflecting collar!

Thor tried on his new jacket, and I think Trinket was a little jealous.

This must be my jacket!

It looks great on me!

Told you it was mine! My DH loved this, it might be hers now, lol.

Trinket says thank you, I look awesome in my new gear!!

Thor says thanks for my much loved crate pad, and the delicious snackies!

Our loot (minus Trinket's collar and Thor's crate pad)

Our gift, an ornament!

Thor says thank you so much Secret Santa (ACarrigDobermans)!! You spoiled my guys, they are SO happy with all their goodies, and I have been eating my candy. Trinket may have stolen Thor's jacket, but Thor might steal her crate pad, since she likes to eat stuffing, so it all works out in the end. And they LOVED those cookies, they were completely gone in the time it took me to take a few pictures! Thank you so much!!!

Here are some of the SCD Rescue kids enjoying their presents. Thank you all SO much, you guys are beyond generous!

This is Nicholas. He is five months old and his back left leg was broken. His owners brought him in to have him put down and the vet agreed to take him if they signed him over. The vet did surgery on his leg and then called us. We agreed to take him, and when we asked what his bill was the vet said "Nothing- Merry Christmas."!! He just wanted this boy to have a good home. How kind and generous is that? We had to do his photo shoot outside because poor little guy was peeing all over LOL.

Nicky's scar on his leg:

This is Lady Belle. Lady is twelve years old. She was an owner surrender at a gassing facility because she stopped eating. Lucky for her this gassing facility has a group of volunteers who work hard to network and save their dogs. They called us about Lady and we picked her up and took her straight to our vet. It turned out Lady Belle had an abscessed tooth and three other teeth that needed removal. After that she ate just fine. She is such a sweet girl and she sure doesn't act twelve years old.

Two of Arda's permanent residents, Georgie is the black, she is 13 and will be wearing the stylish new coat that came. Diamond is the white, she is 8.

This is Dennis. He is almost two. He didn't have any rules in his last home and he got himself in a wee bit of trouble. He's a good boy, but he will take charge if someone else doesn't. So far he is doing very good at behaving himself here.

The other black boy here with the flop ears is Chaos, a permanent resident.
